# Configuring a Private chat between users
Any two users on the ircd server can establish a fully encrypted
communication medium between each other using a basic keypair setup.
## Configuring ircd_config.toml
Generate a keypair using the command
```shell
% ircd --gen-keypair
```
This is the Private key used for encryption of messages across the network.
Save the privateKey safely & add it to the ircd_config.toml file as shown below.
```toml
[private_key.your_private_key_goes_here]
```
To share your public key with a user over the ircd server you can use the following command.
/query User_A “Hi this is my publickey: XXXXXX"
Note: This message will be publically visible on the IRC chat
i.e anyone running the irc demon can view these messages in their logs.
See the [example ircd_config.toml](https://github.com/darkrenaissance/darkfi/blob/master/bin/ircd/ircd_config.toml) for more details
## Example
Lets start by configuring our contacts list in the generated ircd_config.toml file
(you can also refer to the examples written in the comments of the toml file)
```toml
[contact.User_A]
contact_pubkey = XXXXXXX
[contact.User_B]
contact_pubkey = YYYYYYY
```
<u>Note</u>: After configuring our ircd_config.toml file, you will need to restart your irc demon for the changes to reflect.
Lets see an Example where 'User_A' sends “Hi” message to 'User_B' using the /msg command
/msg User_B Hi
IRCD logs of 'User_A'
```

09:36:59 [INFO] [CLIENT 127.0.0.1:xxxx] (Plain) PRIVMSG User_B :Hi

```
<u>Note for Weechat Client Users:</u>
When you private message somone as shown above,
the buffer will not pop in weechat client until you receive a
reply from that person.
For example here 'User_A' will not see any new buffer on his irc interface for
the recent message which he just send to 'User_B' until 'User_B' replies,
but 'User_B' will get a buffer shown on his irc client with the message 'Hi'.
Reply from 'User_B' to 'User_A'
/msg User_A welcome!
